...announcing their decision to suspend the "Guardian," the editors express an expectation that it will be revived after the peace is signed. That hope will be shared by the readers of the magazine, for it fills a gap only too evident in American collegiate journalism. Six years ago, the first "Guardian" was a frank experiment, and it is correct to say that subsequent issues have been a series of them. Some of the experiments have succeeded; a few have failed. Throughout its existence, however, the Guardian has always been something new under the sun. It has managed to present...
...training may very well result in the delay, the arguments, and the local draft board whims that characterized the previous inadequate Selective Service system.

For wood is the last-gasp...
...gradually creeping up on the Japs. In the most vital category-carriers-the U.S. last week was still behind. The U.S. had three still going (not counting converted carriers, too slow for battle), the Japs perhaps five (counting small converted battle carriers). New U.S. carriers should close that gap within a few months...
